INTRODUCTION
What are the Millennium Development Goals?
The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are eight goals to be achieved by 2015 that respond to the world's main development challenges.The MDGs are drawn from the actions and targets contained in the Millennium Declaration that was adopted by 189 nations-and signed by 147 heads of state and governments during the UN Millennium Summit in September 2000. MDGs helped in bringing out a much needed focus and pressure on basic development issues, which in turn led the governments at national and sub national levels to do better planning and implement more intensive policies and programs.

INTRODUCTION The eight (8) Goals are as under:
Goal 1: Eradicate Extreme Poverty and Hunger Goal 2: Achieve Universal Primary Education Goal 3: Promote Gender Equality and Empower Women Goal 4: Reduce Child Mortality Goal 5: Improve Maternal Health Goal 6: Combat HIV/AIDS, Malaria and TB Goal 7: Ensure Environmental Sustainability Goal 8: Develop Global Partnership for Development
India’s MDG framework is based on UNDG’s MDG 2003 framework, and it includes all the eight goals, 12 out of the 18 Targets (Targets 1 to 11 & 18) which are relevant for India and related 35 indicators.
Some of the targets and indicators were dropped and modified due to non-availability of sufficiently reliable data

INDIA’S MDG JOURNEY – A MIXED BAG
Progress has been mixedalready achieved the target of halving the poverty head count ratio, but hunger remains a tough challenge in India, not much progress in reducing income inequality.Moderately on track, while considering the targets of achieving universal education,Eliminated gender inequality in primary and secondary education,Has to strive more to reduce the maternal mortality to reach the desired level. Achieved the required trend reversal in the fight against HIV/ AIDS,Ensured the achievement of target of drinking water facility but lagging behind in achieving the desired target for ensuring sanitation facility is lagging behind.Reducing child mortality as the sharp decline in the recent years in Infant Mortality and Under Five Mortality are likely to take us very near to the target.Trend reversal has achieved in the fight against Malaria and TB, though there was some fluctuations in between,Measures have taken to reverse the loss of environmental resources, progress has been achieved in improving the environment by improving the coverage of forest area, protected areas, reducing CFC emission.

A MIXED BAG OF GLORIES AND PITFALL India is moderately successful in reducing poverty and likely to miss target by 3.5 percentage point. The Poverty head Count Ratio( based on Tendulkar Committee estimate of national poverty line) is 21.9% BY 2011-12, estimated to reach 18.6 % by 2015. the share of poorest 20% in national consumption was always less than 10% during 1993-2012, and over the years, a declining trend has been observed. The malnourished and underweight children’s percentage came down from 52% (in 1990) to 43 % (in 1998-99) and expected to reach 40% by 2005-06, and likely to be 33% by 2015 (below the target of 26%)Although, at the all India level PGR declined substantially in both rural and urban areas during 2004-5 to 2011-12, but scenario vary from State to State
![Page 12: The Millennium Development Goals and Post 2015 Framework- An Indian Experience](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9ab23760da3da068b806b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
CONTD..
The Poverty head Count Ratio is based on Tendulkar Committee estimate of national poverty line.
The poverty line as defined by Tendulkar Committee is itself a much debated issue and do not reflect the actual measure of poverty.
Most of the uplifted people above the national poverty line are on threshold and runs the risk of pushed below with little disturbance
Marginalized section like SC /ST, single women household, are most vulnerable.

CONTD..
Education is an essential tool for breaking the intergenerational transmission of poverty
Universal enrolment but survival rate to grade 5 is still cause of worry
But children are learning little in school Level of learning in Mathematics and English is very poor. As per ASER 2014, of all students enrolled in St V half can
not read read at St II level Close to half of all children will finish eight years of schooling but still not have learned basic skills in arithmetic.
Inequality in learning outcomes are high.

A MIXED BAG OF GLORIES AND PITFALL..
Gender inequality remains high. Literacy rates among women fall behind that of men, thus evidencing women‘s poorer participation in learning outcomes and opportunities.
![Page 15: The Millennium Development Goals and Post 2015 Framework- An Indian Experience](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9ab23760da3da068b806b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
CONTD… India is moderately or almost nearly on track however ‘participation of women in employment and decision making remains less and disparity is not likely to eliminate by 2015’. Country’s Gender Parity Index (GPI) for Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) in primary and secondary education has risen and at 1.03 in 2013-14, but achieving GPI in tertiary education still remains a challenge which is 0.89 in 2012-13.Violence against women is a major concern and do not reflect the progress made under other indicators.Instances of violence against women has an astonishing and grim variety to it – with acid throwing, domestic violence stemming out of dowry, rape, harassment and an assortment of others

GROWTH & ATTAINMENT OF MDG
Economic growth is critical to attainment of most of MDGs but not sufficient
Growth has tendency to reduce poverty but Income elasticity of poverty has fallen
Definitive view on poverty reduction is hostage to data uncertainties
The pattern of growth and sectoral composition matters for the pace and quality of poverty reduction.
Though consumption poverty has declined , calorie poverty has not declined.
Expansion of non-farm growth is more closely linked to urban than agricultural growth which explains rapid decrease in urban poverty than rural poverty
India’s nonfarm growth, slow by international standard is driven by urban growth, reduction levels and state and local factors.
![Page 17: The Millennium Development Goals and Post 2015 Framework- An Indian Experience](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9ab23760da3da068b806b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
THE EMPLOYMENT- POVERTY NEXUS
Employment is one of the main instrumentality which leads to poverty reduction through growth
Sectorial composition of economic growth, the choice and level of technology and effective functioning of the labor market also influence the rate of growth of employment
Structurally, growth to be pro poor, employment intensity sector must lead to expansion in the outputs directly or indirectly induced.
While the number of people moving into non farm employment is growing, the quality of nonfarm employment is falling
![Page 18: The Millennium Development Goals and Post 2015 Framework- An Indian Experience](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9ab23760da3da068b806b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
BEYOND GROWTH AND POVERTY REDUCTION…. In contrast to steady reduction in poverty India’s record in Human
Development is mixed. Variation in human development indicators are enormous across
states. Increase in income level does not necessarily lead to consumption
of MDG Goods & Services due to other factors like: Social customs and barrier Lack of education and awareness Prohibitive cost due to lack of infrastructure Low level and slow growth in public expenditures particularly on
health and education For Growth to be Inclusive redistribution and channelization of
the benefits of growth, through social protection schemes, entitlement program – both to reduce poverty directly and to allow people to benefit in other human development.

CRITICISM ON MDGS
MDGs have often been criticized for being a top-down development agenda. North-dominated.represent a reductionist view of developmentThey are too limited in scopeToo focused on social sectorstheir emphasis on quantification is excessive;they omit fundamental objectives contained in the Millennium Declarationinadequately address the complexity of the dimensions that are included (e.g. gender equality and the quality of freedom)
![Page 20: The Millennium Development Goals and Post 2015 Framework- An Indian Experience](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9ab23760da3da068b806b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
MDG TO SDG – LEAVING NO ONE BEHIND
Originated from The Open Working Group (OWG) deliberations which was mandated by the Rio+20outcome document ‘The Future We Want’
Triple bottom line approach to human wellbeing Economic development Social inclusion Environment sustainability
![Page 21: The Millennium Development Goals and Post 2015 Framework- An Indian Experience](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9ab23760da3da068b806b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
MDG TO SDG – LEAVING NO ONE BEHIND
It is critically important to keep the key elements of SDGs in perspective
The synthesis report of the Secretary General on the post-2015 agenda, “The road to dignity: ending poverty, transforming all lives and protecting the planet” was published in December 2014. The report presents six elements for delivering on the SDGs which “… would help frame and reinforce the universal, integrated and transformative nature of a sustainable development agenda …”. The six elements are:•Dignity: to end poverty and fight inequalities•People: to ensure healthy lives, knowledge, and the inclusion of women and children•Prosperity: to grow a strong, inclusive, and transformative economy•Planet: to protect our ecosystems for all societies and our children•Justice: to promote safe and peaceful societies, and strong institutions •Partnership: to catalyse global solidarity for sustainable development
![Page 22: The Millennium Development Goals and Post 2015 Framework- An Indian Experience](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9ab23760da3da068b806b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
THE 17 SDGS
![Page 23: The Millennium Development Goals and Post 2015 Framework- An Indian Experience](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9ab23760da3da068b806b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
CRITICAL ELEMENTS FOR SUCCESS OF THE SDGS
The Agenda: Inclusive, transformative, integrated and universalHow the ‘universal’ SDG will be rearticulated at the national level reflecting the contextual priorities?- Still an issue of debate
Country-led implementation, Common But Differentiated Responsibility
A revitalized Global Partnership: An area much criticized during MDG implementation
Follow-up and review processes will be voluntary and will respect policy space and priorities of the countries
Global review will primarily be based on national official data sources – country reports and thematic reports
![Page 24: The Millennium Development Goals and Post 2015 Framework- An Indian Experience](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9ab23760da3da068b806b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
LESSONS FOR THE SDGS New areas of SDGs (e.g. cities and human settlements,
ecosystem and biodiversity) will call for greater effort and resources at the country level
Much more ambition and effort is required on the part of the national, regional and international community.
It is important to sensitize national policies in line with SDGs!
An important issue with respect to SDGs is how their implementation will be financed.
Public finance (domestic resource mobilization) and foreign aid are expected to continue to be central to supporting the implementation of the SDGs, but they will not be adequate.
Other potential sources of financing include: resources generated from the private sector (including
remittances) crackdown on illicit financial flows and corruption trade and market access foreign direct investment
![Page 25: The Millennium Development Goals and Post 2015 Framework- An Indian Experience](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9ab23760da3da068b806b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
LESSONS FOR THE SDGS Concerns have been raised about the sheer breadth and ambition of these goals, the feasibility of monitoring them and tracking actual progress within countries.
If monitoring of 8 MDGs, 20 targets and 60 indicators have posed serious challenges at the national level, how about 17 SDGs, 169 targets and over 300 indicators?
Capacity of national statistics office and other government agencies will be tested
Accessibility, quality and timeliness of data will be critical. To fix a reference year will be a challenge: 2010?; 2015?
Rapid technological progress should be put into effective use
Attainment of SDGs will require a strong and effective institutional mechanism involving all stakeholders including public representatives (central and local), government (executive & bureaucracy), private sector, civil society, knowledge community, and development partners.

SDG AND INDIA
India along with middle income countries like BRICSAM will be main leaders
India’s developmental agenda and priorities are in alignment with SDGs
India successfully lobbied for Common But Differentiated Responsibilities
![Page 27: The Millennium Development Goals and Post 2015 Framework- An Indian Experience](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f9ab23760da3da068b806b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
ROAD AHEAD FOR INDIA

CONCLUSION: MDG despite of many criticisms & fallacies has brought the focus of the
govt. ,policy makers & other stakeholders w.r.t issues like poverty, hunger,gender disparity etc.
So, SDG will carry on the unfinished agenda of MDG. SDG to shift its focus to human well being & sustainability while striving to meet
the other developmental roles Hence, India’s developmental agenda are in congruence with SDG.

“Between now and 2015, we must make sure that promises made become promises kept. The consequences of doing otherwise are profound: death, illness and despair, needless suffering, lost opportunities for millions upon millions of people.”
